Archived IPA size for Appstore is larger then Adhoc

I am developing app in swift 2 in xcode 7.3. I used too small images and project is too short it contains only one framework googleMobileAds.framework. My total size of project folder is only 36MB where 31MB is only for googleMobileAds.framework. Now I want to publish my app on store. but it creates too large ipa with size 31 MB for app store deployment. When i tried to export ipa for adhoc exported IPA file size with 8MB. I searched a lot on google and i got to know that disabling of BITCODE will help I disabled but nothing worked its still 31 MB for App Store Deployement. please tell me how to reduce app size because app is too small thats why I want to reduce app size. Thanks in advance. :)

Why ipa file size is too big?

ipa file size is not your application size, it is total size of all your app architectures. When you can change your architectures, the size will decreases. If you want to find out the size of each architecture, you can change your target device when you export application for AD-HOC or Development.

Is ipa size same as app size?

APP size is around 5MB for Android but ipa takes almost the double size 11.4MB.

App store distribution submissions are uncompressed (and App Store downloads are less compressible than development ipa files), so this is normal and there is nothing you can do (except remove lots of code or data from your app).
